Why is soil testing so important? There are several key reasons why soil testing is necessary.
If you have used our soil testing services at Fertrell, you have probably realized that we don’t process your soil tests at our facility. We have our customers send their soil samples to an independent laboratory for analysis. The soil analysis results we provide are not necessarily better than results from other reputable soil testing labs across the country. We do however make sure that the labs we work with provide a thorough analysis of your soil.
Healthy crop growth depends on the right balance of nutrients in soil. Soil needs macronutrients - nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, calcium, and magnesium - but they are only one piece of the puzzle. Just as important are micronutrients, such as iron, copper, zinc - and boron. It may be hard to imagine a nutrient found in such small quantity could be so impactful, however it is vital to many plant functions.
The Aragonite that Fertrell supplies to customers is essentially a mineral form of calcium that comes from the sea. Generally it runs from 33%-39% readily available calcium. What this really means is that the calcium is immediately available, at a high percentage, and starts working with the soil right away. Therefore, Aragonite can be applied in fall or spring.
